Seems to be the charger.
Spec wise you're looking at the motor wattage, battery capacity and weight really. Also this has pneumatic tyres whereas some come with solid. You get a much smoother ride with inflatable but you do always run the risk of getting a flat and having to take the wheel off.
The M365 is a great scooter that's super popular, but I recently purchased a Segway Ninebot ES4 from a local store due to insisting on having somewhere to take it if it breaks in the first year.
Also before the conversation starts - these are fully legal in QLD only and cannot be ridden in public elsewhere.
The inflatable tyres make for a much smoother ride having ridden both the Segway with front suspension and xiaomi with inflatables. Flats are a non issue if you use this https://www.bigw.com.au/product/slime-tyre-tube-sealant/p/54… . A quarter bottle in each tire and you are good to go.
Edit: to reply to the one star review on big w website..make sure you follow directions and reinflate straight away (which also clears valve) after filling. I'm guessing it must harden if you leave it. Also give it a good number rotations once in the tire to spread it around the inner tube. Gtg.
Edit 2: can also confirmed no euro to au plug included.
The international version comes with two spare tyres, which you may need after 1000 Klms. No other difference between that and non-international version.
The chargers have a standard IEC socket so changing the appliance lead is no issue. Most AU sellers ship with an Australian appliance lead.
This thing's worth more than my car
Then this might be more powerful too ;)
Get one. No petrol, no rego. Save money.
but no aircond and raincoat
if only you could find some way to improve your fitness at the same time!
i wonder what kind of invention allows that?
Agree. You cant walk and get much-needed exercise but pay for gym?
@amsaini15: i hear some people drive their car to go to the gym (that they pay for) to exercise in a stationary position to only get back in their car and be sedentary whilst driving home again.
@orangetrain: i definitely like to recycle fart air.
get a 2nd whiff of dem beans i had for brekkie.
@orangetrain: But having staff on hand in case you injure yourself or have a heart attack, can be a good thing.
Yep I've heard of several people who died while:
- exercising by themselves
- exercising in gyms which didn't have staff on at the time- 1 guy who had a heart attack in a gym which had staff, and he lived because they got the ambulance in time
@southaussiewithcosi: Try power-walking with hand and ankle weights. Find some hills and you'll see how quickly you get muscle on. ;)
A bicycle?
@tranter: careful what you say! the trolls might step out of their metal cages and unleash the insults!
it was $593 few weeks back so not really a deal
Yeah, they have joined the price jack club on ebay! :/ Thankfully I bought it when it was lower. I really like my scooter. :)
I'm gonna import 100 of these for $500 posted to your door
I'm in… not!
Edit: I thought it was $450? :)
Started at $450
I understand that reference…. *Captain_America_gets_it.gif*
There's already a few people doing this your a bit late I think.
It was only a tongue in cheek remark based on others attempting to do this. Wasn't a serious comment
I would much rather pay a bit more and buy from ebay along with the protections that brings rather than a private bulk which is very risky.
Can't believe people would even consider it.
Also this ebay item is already located in Australia.
@tranter: The spare parts for theses are everywhere and very cheap so worse comes worse and it breaks it probably still be cheaper after repairing. For the average user though buying with local warranty is def the way to go though.
Roboguy?
I'd 100% buy one of these but you still get use them in public in NSW
Lime has rolled out in Qld and SA, possibly ACT and there is a study being undertaken by the National Transport Commission into the benefits and drawbacks of implementing scooter laws…
It's coming… just not tomorrow…
I can recommend this seller. I purchased my Xiaomi robot vacuum and some other things a couple of months later - nice and fast delivery.
I saw a guy using this scooter yesterday, must say the build quality felt great, didn't have the opportunity to ask about his review though, considering my self to get one….but wait do i have use case for this, probably NO
God NSW is such a nanny state. "Wahh I'm a baby I might scrape my knee if I ride an electric scooter… please government, save me!"
Mark Latham and David Leyonhjelm might be our only hopes…
Come to WA, we know how to party here… /sarcasm
It might be 5-10 years later eg. ALDI
If you think that the government really cares about you so much, then you'd be very wrong. Reasoning behind a ban is more likely to STOP public liability before it happens. Public liability is more of an issue to them than lives of you or I.
I was listening to the ABC, old people ringing up recommending fines for people WALKING and using the phone at the same time.
Got one of these from Gearbite in June last year via eBay. I think the price was just under $600 delivered due to use of coupon and eBay giftcard bought with Woolworths 5% off giftcard (but I think the latter is fully blocked by Woolies now). I think this is a good price. Delivery was quick. Have done over 200km with no issues. It's fast and has really good build quality. Ride comfort is quite good due to pneumatic tyres - if you want a smoother ride you can drop the pressure a bit but you'll lose some range. Loaned it to someone who did a 17km trip no issues without charging but my commute is only 3km each way. Highly recommended.
Edit: Mine didn't have spare tyres. In QLD.
Where are you actually riding this thing? on a road or a footpath?
Just keep in mind it's illegal to ride this IN ANY public space in every state except QLD.
Under the ACT's Road Transport (Road Rules) Regulation 2017, electric scooters can be used, however must not be able to travel faster than 10 kilometres an hour and must have a motor with a 200 watt output or less. Must be ridden on the footpath too. Sadly that eliminates 90% of scooters on the market, lol
how fast does this one go?
I have mine and I have removed all logos and used my plotter to print custom labels that say 200w and a very similar looking model that is witrhin the law, if I double click the power button it jumps in to eco which fits within the law when checked. Also I use mines on the bike paths on the public roads, the law allows a electric bike to be 400w so the law seems pretty backwards for something that can stop quicker than a bike ( I know from experience using bike paths during peak to and from work).
this is genius!
what is logic for banning scooters?
Is it common sense logic, that being it's unsafe for them on road, & a nuisance to pedestrians on footpath, or is it something else?Probably because they can't tax them, yet.
Id say the footpath thing….they go fast, make bugger all noise and people are morons.
They don't go as fast as you'd think or hope even downhill. Push bikes go WAY quicker than these and probably with equally less noise.
@bchliu: Bikes fly passed me most days on the road so yeah the logic from the govt is flawed, they should maybe try use them and see that there is no real fuss.
Technically the reverse, they're not banned explicitly, but they're not permitted as anything with a motor/wheels needs to be approved before it can be permitted. Scooters haven't had that permission granted most states yet, while they determine what is acceptable and what not.
Scooters without a motor are fine.
Also, the scooters aren't power assist. You only assist to start but then no assistance is required, which I don't think it legal in Australia. Electric bicycles must be pedal assist (as I understand it), If you don't pedal the electric motor doesn't work. If that isn't true let me know e-bike people.
@bobvegas: A 200W or less eBike does not require any assistance and simply uses a throttle. But it still must be a bicycle, i.e have pedals, seat, etc
@sheamas88: They really have to redefine the "200W" laws since 200W actually can mean so many things - battery usage, Electrical motor energy (motor voltage), torque efficiency etc. Not all 200W e-vehicles (eBikes, eScooters or the like) are the same.
@bobvegas: Tell that to all the delivery rider bikes in Melbourne CBD they all have trigger activated e bikes
@Melong: Was thinking the same. VIC government were reviewing the electric scooter laws in Decemeber. Hopefully will they will pass/enact something similar to QLD Laws soon.
Fatman’s dream
that's a car
Max load 100kg, so no
Im about 93kg's and carry full gym bag of BJJ gear wet and it seems just fine, the frame is solid as gave a go to one of the big boys in our place and it coped just fine, I've jumped off kerbs a few times transferring from different areas and it has been great.
How would this go on dirt roads or grass/paddock? Would be handy for the work I do at music festivals, save so much walking!
Just get a dirt bike
Not easy to transport 5+ hours plus petrol vehicles are often not appropriate
If you're serious about this there are some pretty incredible off road designed escooters. Check out the Inokim! Can 8 ask which festies you are involved with?
Could you use a stroller with one of these?
We're about 3km away from a good park and it'd be great to just dock the stroller to the scooter to get around. Maybe a bracket that connects the stroller and scooter together.
Short answer no. You do a lot of zigging and zagging
Well you can, it won't be safe though.
But if you don't put a baby in the stroller, and you don't care if it scrapes behind you, you should be OK.
You could probably attach some chalk to the bottom of the stroller and do some burnout art.
Re your park problem, I recently saw something on tv where a girl wearing shiny red shoes tapped them together and she was able to transport wherever she wanted to go. She kept mumbling something about Kansas and Toto but not sure what the deal is thrre.
The Chinese are working on some amazing technology these days so expect to find these shoes at Aliexpress or Banggood anytime soon.
Did you want something like these?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqSEuzvDXUAThat first one is pretty cool. I fell asleep during the slow music on the second video…!
Does anyone have any experience using these in WA? Want to know if they’ve had any run ins with the law, or if the coppers are pretty relaxed?
I have had an electric scooter in WA for 2 years. 2000km. No issues. I have 500w iMax S1+. Does 35 km per HR. Simple rule. Stay away from people and don't be a dick.
So it’s legal to ride it on any foot path?
not technically legal I think. Just that law enforcement isn’t really going to pick you up on it.
@ts13: I seen a guy in newcastle doing 70 on the freeway recently , drawing attention we don't need. I cut through the CBD so have to be wary of cops, although there was a memorial day a few months ago and I passed through about 40 cops, cars, bikes, push bikes and they didn't bat an eyelid so who know.
Thanks. Stay on footpaths or do you ever use the road? May seem like a dumb question - but when I used lime in France, it was actually a requirement that you DO use the road, not the footpath.
Does this apply to the none electrical version as well? Or the None Electrical version can be used on footpath?
@Aerith-Waifu: I’m not sure if this is a serious question. You’re questioning the legality of a human powered, push along scooter?
@Aerith-Waifu: Of course it’s legal. The mode of transport is comparable to a bicycle, skateboard, or a shopping trolley. Just that there are certain places where it’s inappropriate to take it. Like a shopping mall, a highway, or a tunnel…
Legality comes into issue, particularly when it’s a powered vehicle. The main issue is that you could potentially cause harm to other people or property - thus requiring registration which would probably provide some kind of compulsory third party insurance.
Meh these have been sub $600 plenty of times
I live in Melbourne and I remember the police gave big fines out regularly in 90’s for the tiny combustion motor scooters we had back in the day, could be an expensive ride if you get stopped by the police, I can tell you they do have the right to detain, confiscate and fine for an illegal road vehicle
They've started rolling out sharing e-scooters in Melbourne, I saw them at St Kilda. Government was quoted as saying they're reviewing the footpath speed limit laws. I wouldn't ride these on the road with cars, the wheels are too small, less control if something goes wrong like when hitting a rock or bump.
Does anyone know the difference in quality between the xiaomi m365 and the [bullet xct 85] (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Folding-Electric-Scooter-with-Xi…)?
Bought a bullet scooter a while back, not the same in the picture. Battery died at 1,000km, poor design meant handle bar slippage couldn't be tightened unless I rip the whole display casing off. Wouldn't recommend bullet
how is the warranty with gearbyte as Xiaomi Au is also selling at the same price? Is the customer support easy to deal with if there is a problem with Xiaomi scooter?
